Did anyone find that you could piggyback onto the WordPress integration/authentication when using the OpenID plugin? It didn’t work for me. I had the plugin activated on my WordPress site and was able to login and create users just fine, but bbPress didn’t know about the credentials and wouldn’t login.

I need to get more familiar with how the integration is working – I thought it would work fine since it created a normal WordPress user record. But it kept saying the userid was unknown… Will probably dig into it later. The WP plugin is great – the persona fill in stuff is very cool. Only quirk was my ‘Display As’ defaulted to the userid even though a name was included. But I digress.

Why doesn’t bbPress allow to login users already logged to WP? I can see them in the list of my forum users (a-bishop.com e.g.). But when I try to login, bb-login.php strips the dot and login name becomes “a-bishopcom”.

@ __ck__: I was planning on tackling this, since I just love OpenID. But it would be nice to also offer support for phpMyID (http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/). That’s what I use to make my own domain, my openID.

This plug-in works great, I just wish users could register via OpenID. I think your plug-in does allow this now, however, I use wordpress for registrations because I’m able to make a custom registration e-mail and it’s simpler and more sleek than the bbpress registration.

If only there was a way to make a wordpress OpenID plugin that would play nice with your bbpress OpenID plugin. So, users could register with OpenID using the wordpress registration page, then login with either the wordpress login page or the bbpress login page using OpenID.

Because of my set up I always have weird requests since again, I use wordpress for registrations and bbpress for log ins. 8 |
